Answer:
a. Oxygen gas is limiting
Explanation:
hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are reacted to form water
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
the above balanced equation shows that 2 moles of H₂ is required for 1 mole of O₂
Given equal masses of H₂ and O₂
assuming 'x' gm for each, no. of moles of each gas =
no. of moles of H₂ = x/2 = 0.5x moles
no.of moles of O₂ = x/32 = 0.031x moles
This shows that no. of moles of O₂ is very less so O₂ will become the limiting reagent.
The true answer is: It's conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.
the first two answer is wrong because it's conserved not as mentioned, It's not conserved.
and the last one also wrong because the total number of O atoms are equal at the two sides but not equal 2.
